It’s a cliche, but the iGaming industry never stands still. New markets are emerging, regulations are evolving, and operators are constantly looking for the next big opportunity. Expansion - whether into a newly regulated jurisdiction or a high-growth region - is an exciting but complex challenge. 

Ask any CTO in iGaming what keeps them up at night, and chances are, the answer isn’t server outages or compliance updates (though, let’s be honest, those don’t help). No, the real headache is people - finding and keeping the right tech talent.

In the high-stakes sectors of iGaming and Payments, the pressure to meet aggressive targets and adapt to a fast-evolving landscape has historically, in some cases, created a “crash and burn” work culture.

The candidate experience can have a powerful impact on a company’s reputation. According to PwC’s Future of Recruiting survey, 56% of candidates would discourage others from applying for a role due to bad recruiting practices.

As a consultant here at Pentasia, I’ve witnessed significant changes in how top talent responds to the recruitment experience in the iGaming sector. Attracting exceptional candidates now goes beyond a great job description and competitive pay—it’s about offering a recruitment experience that resonates with their expectations and values.
